[@MixedUpCraft]

Thank you :)

[@bettyjohnson1365]

Like the stick out folds too. Last year I made 50 small sized of these in embossed orange thick cardstock for Halloween. Thank you for the large size directions, these are great boxes. I like that you decorated the outside, it’s a very pretty addition.

[@MixedUpCraft]

Thank you Betty, glad you like them :)

[@norahmcphee4928]

Thank you once more flower for a great idea for a gift bag/box. Hmmm, i give a wee something to all that's at the dinner table when we go to my daughter's in laws and i like them to be different from the outside in. These i know will go down a treat ;D. Crafty hugs from Scotland x

[@nazlij3298]

Cute and you made it easy. Will certainly try it out. 😄

[@SonjaFriskes]

This is such a lovely box and yes its great for Christmas. Thank you so much Sam for this tutorial. xxxSonja

[@steveboot5756]

Hi Sam, another really good video tutorial, thank you. I made one using a very decorative piece of 12 x 12 cardstock (so didn't need to mat) and it looked amazing. Second one was from 6x6 white card stock and matted as you showed in the video. Both awesome. Thank you again for your superb tutorials. Steve

[@wuitterlinden]

Very nice box.

[@tinabento-filipe191]

Love the box Sam

[@brendajust5059]

Beautiful boxes Sam❤️Brenda from Australia xx

[@ananyagupta4599]

Superb

[@inesabdelnour2135]

Amazing!

[@pattyd3205]

Wow! Oh! Wowser! love, love, love it. When I saw the "template" I thought Mmmm!! that looks complicated. However with your wonderful talk through it is simple. Guess what I will be doing later!! I have a Craft Table at a Village Market tomorrow, I am going to make a couple to sell. Thank you again for an amazing Tutorial. Patricia xx.

[@MixedUpCraft]

Hi Patricia, I hope your craft table was a success x

[@laetitialpg]

If you use a bicolor sheet , white and illustration, which one side must I use in the beginning, please Thank you so much for your great video

[@hazcar5543]

Love it

[@mariecrestanderbery8118]

WOW!! I saw this on www.docrafts.com that 'icedimages' posted and was kind to give me your link. I attend a card making class at my local scrapbook store and will definitely be making one for the instructor for our December class when she basically throws a party along with making our Christmas cards!! I know she will love it!! Thanks for making a video so we can clearly see show you make them.

[@tonihall7810]

Thankyou for your time . Will the little box fit inside the big box . Just curious . I will def give this a go .

[@MixedUpCraft]

I never tried and don't have them anymore, possibly but due to the sloped sides, I think it may get crushed.

[@dawngupta3159]

Hi Sam, newly subscribed and catching up with your previous videos. Love them, especially the giftboxes. Could you let me know what card you used to make the framework of the origami gift box. I have tried some of the stock that l have , but the crease marks tend to crack, even when l’m being gentle 🙁

[@carolrossouw2015]

Thank you for another lovely tutorial. Any chance you could make the template you used available?

[@jmccreates1337]

I've made the small one before and it was pretty but useless as nothing fits in it lol. I'll definitely be making the big one for some xmas pressies. As an eyelet virgin what would I need to buy to be able to use eyelets?? Thanks Sam

[@MixedUpCraft]

Hi Jacqui, that's why I change it slightly so more would fit into them. Much better with the flaps outside than in. I have shared links in my blog post for the tutorial for the eyelets, you can find the link just below the video :) x

[@trevanji]

BEAUTIFUL 'card" .... :-). May I ask, and I hope to check the start of your 'video' (?: is that what they are called?) for this info prior to posting this, but what paper weight have you used? I tried 12 x 12 at 210gsm and my folds were hard to crisp. Will try now both a smaller size AND a lesser-weight card stock. Like you, i do love this box: it is so striking!!!

[@MixedUpCraft]

Hello @trevanji . I’ve called them Origami gift box because of the folds that are used when following an Origami pattern. I would suggest you try a slightly lighter card if your folds are hard to crisp and see if that helps. . Happy Crafting. 😊

[@trevanji]

@@MixedUpCraft Yes! "lesser" worked. These r my all-time favouritw given the amount of paper, time and beautiful outcome! 💞
